Unit 9 Evaluation

Unit 9 Evaluation

For Unit 9 our task was to take and edit four pictures for each sections which were 'School Brochure' photo essay and Nature and decay. I used PhotoShop to edit my photos and then i added them to my blog analyzed them to show and explain what I had done. For nature and Decay I took pictures of Morton Corbet and I mainly made the pictures dull and dark so they looked a bit more spooky and scary. For my photo essay pictures I took pictures of my brother skateboarding and I did a mixture of different edits some were quite bright and some were dark and dull. Then for my school brochure I went around the school I went around the school and took pictures and when i edited them i just made them look brighter and better so it makes the school look more bright and friendly. From doing this task i definitely got better at using PhotoShop I learnt more things to do. Using photoshop was what i enjoyed using the most because as I was using it I was learning different things at the same time. What I enjoyed using the least was taking the pictures because we had to make sure they were nice and clear so they were easy to edit and make sure my ideas weren't the same as everyone else's. 

I don't really have a favorite edit, but my favorite section of images I edited was 'Nature and Decay' because they were really clear, better quality pictures and were easy to edit. I think they also looked the best out of all the other edits. In my opinion i think they looked more professional. My least favorite edit was probably one of the edits for the School brochure because i think they look a bit dull and bland and  it doesn't really look like i have edited them that much. My Photo essay images were of skateboarding, comparing my edits to professional edits, I think i made them quite similar because they have also used bright colours on some and black and white on others, although the professional images that are used in magazines are a lot more professional looking and clear. To improve my skills at taking photos i just kept trying to get the clearest image I could when I used the camera. 

To improve my skills at editing on PhotoShop watching online tutorials helped me and showed my how to exactly work different things. But also i improved my skills by just playing around on

PhotoShop and trying to work things out for myself.

I used blogger to present my work because it is well organized and everything is in there own little section. Everything is easy to find and look at, and nothing will get lost when you publish it on Blogger.
